[continued]
‘All prophets are human and never part of divinity: they are simply recipients of revelation from God. God never speaks directly to a human: he either sends an angel messenger to him or makes him hear a voice or inspires him. Muhammad is accepted as the last prophet in this series and its greatest member, for in him all the messages of the earlier prophets were consummated.... The angel Gabriel brought the Qur’ān down to the Prophet’s “heart”. Gabriel is represented by the Qur’ān as a spirit, but the Prophet could sometimes see and hear him.’
